Product Overview
Realtor.com Connections Plus is the direct competitor to Zillow Premier Agent — same underlying model (paid leads by ZIP) with one major differentiator: Connections Plus markets its leads as exclusive rather than non-exclusive. Traffic volume is lower than Zillow's but still substantial (realtor.com is typically the #2 US real estate destination). For agents who want to diversify beyond Zillow or who value exclusivity over raw volume, Connections Plus is the primary alternative.
